N2  - OBJECTIVE: To explore different stakeholder perspectives on the MYPLAN app for suicide prevention safety planning. <br><br>METHODS: The study was a comparative analysis of four focus groups with Danish MYPLAN stakeholders, young users, adult users, relatives, and clinicians. The focus groups were audio recorded, transcribed, and subjected to a thematic analysis. <br><br>RESULTS: The analysis contextualised the participants' experiences of the benefits and limitations of MYPLAN. While participants believed that MYPLAN could potentially interrupt early stages of a suicidal process, clinicians' involvement in safety planning was considered important. <br><br>CONCLUSION: MYPLAN could potentially give users a sense of increased personal control, but learning how to effectively safety plan was not perceived to be simple and additional support should be considered for MYPLAN users.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
